Mid-division, 8th halfway, headway to 6th before 4 out, improved to 4th 2 out, ridden to challenge in 2nd after 2 out, led approaching last, kept on well (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that the drop back in trip may have helped, the gelding may not have acted on the very heavy ground at Leopardstown last time, and the drop back in class may have contributed to today's performance.)
